According to reliable sources within the Green Bay Packer organization, Ted Thompson's slothful and moribund activity in free agency deserves some explanation. When questioned about it, Thompson said..."I don't know...I just don't think that much about it." "It's really not part of my "master plan".

When asked what his "master plan" exactly is...Thompson just shrugged his shoulders, and walked away...

Key Packer players such as Ryan Longwell, Mike Flanagan and Tony Fisher, when asked about Thompson's plan, were left scratching their heads...."He never said nothing to me.." said Fisher. "Nobody knows what's going on over there." "Nobody seems to be driving the car." "I mean...the lights are on...but nobody's home..if you get my drift".

This is puzzling indeed, yet certain Packer faithful...or I should say, "TT faithful" on packerforum.com are not deterred. "Oh TT has a plan alright.." "Boy..does he ever have a plan"..said one poster. But when pushed to explain what exactly that plan is...they could not come up with an answer.....but simply reapeated..."TT has a plan.."

Stay tuned Packer fans...because insiders claim that TT's plan is really not to do much for the GB Packer organization this year or the next, but in 2008 watch out! Because TT is going to unleash a maelstrom of a plan..."There is going to be a blizzard of activity in 2008..." according to TT pundits.....

"That is when you are going to really see something out of TT"...claimed the source....

Please, show your sources.

Considering your 'standpoint' with the Packers (team in which you claim to be a fan of and i resent that claim) solid reputable sources are required before this is even given a grain of salt for truth.

I can easily tell you what Ted Thompson's plan is.. He's modeling the team after the San Diego Chargers of recent years and not the Washington Redskins. Thompson wants to build the Packers through the Draft like the Chargers have done this decade rather than go out and overpay for free agents.. I'm fine with that plan.. I like the idea.. Dynasties are builts through the draft.. Now we can't predict the future but I sure hope TT has another solid Draft. He had a great one last year with 14 rookies making the roster. That's unheard of in the NFL.. If we can get another solid draft I think the future looks bright..

Though a lot is at stake with the Aaron Rodgers pick.

Good post!

Although I think it was only 11 rookies. We drafted 11, one of the drafted did not make it and 1 undrafted did make it.

Neat, never would have thought about considering them myself. Oops! lol

Zero aren't you a mod? How many times are you going to let that little douche Trom call people "old man". Didn't you learn your lesson losing Bruce from this board? I totally expect this to be edited since I'm not one of the BOOOOYYYYEEEEEES!

Wasn't aware 'I' lost Bruce. Where at? I'm not able to read each and every single word of each an every single post. I try to catch as much as I can, however I'm not perfect and I apologize for missing it.

"I think the panicing "The SKY is falling" attitude some have is goofy. It's a LONG way from season's start, and your saying the GM WANTS to lose. That makes sense. He WANTS the team to crash, so that he ends up unemployed......"

Cheesey...

I heard this kind of stuff for 6 years..but about Mike Sherman and his "plan"...(and almost everyone who defended him has since jumped off of his bandwagon...).

If you read the subject of my post...I said.."this year"..and it appears to thinking people watching TT's moves...that he is not very interested in winning this year, and that his plan is to have a contender in 2-3 years...I even heard one poster here say that TT is building a "dynasty", which made me laugh because there are no more dynasties in the NFL, and it is far from proven that TT could "build one"...(Although..probably in his mind..he thinks he can...)

This piece is obviously satire...yet...saying that does not necessarily make it untrue...It is an opinion piece and can not be proven true or untrue...but arguments can be made for both sides. I happen to believe that my side about TT is more true than some other peoples sides...but that will be proven in time....

To your credit...at least you didn't delete it...as was decried by some of the other posters who don't have the maturity to even consider another Packer fans point of view without throwing a hissy fit....that is their perogative too...i guess...

Is that was this is about? You want GB to fail so you can say "I told you so!"

You are not a Packers fan.

and as for your original post being 'obviously' satire, tell that to the people who replied and thought it was legit. Some people actually thought you had something useful to say. But as usual, you just bashed someone in a nice cute 'news' format this time, confusing folks.

I don't think "everyone" defended Sherman. And he had 6 years, and didn't make it. TT hasn't even had a chance yet. Somehow i feel what Trom says is right.......you WANT TT to blow it, just so you can say "SEE??? I was RIGHT!" Why do you hate the guy so much, when he hasn't even had a chance yet? You don't like his hair? His eyes? I just don't know why you want to blast him, when he should, in my view at least, be given a chance to prove himself in the job. If he screws it all up, as you seem to want him to do, then i will say you were right.
